Abstract

Therefore, the author examines the influence of perceived organizational support (POS) and self-efficacy on employees' readiness for change at PT Bukit Asam Tbk. Unit Pelabuhan Tarahan Bandar Lampung, using a Likert scale questionnaire as the primary data source. The sample size in this study is 120 respondents, with multiple linear regression analysis employed as the data analysis technique. The results show that the first hypothesis is not supported. The findings indicate that perceived organizational support has a positive but not significant effect on readiness for change. The second hypothesis is supported, showing that self-efficacy has a positive and significant effect on readiness for change. The recommendation of this study is for supervisors to provide more feedback and responses to subordinates' concerns. Employees can enhance their self-efficacy by participating in various training programs. The limitation of this study is the relatively small population and sample size. For future research on the influence of POS on readiness for change, other theories related to POS and additional variables affecting readiness for change can be explored.
